Hey can we not make being super skinny the 'attractive' thing again

So like obviously skinny being considered attractive has never went away completely, but can we not bring back being really skinny and underweight pls

I've seen so many ppl talking about how "curvy is out and skinny is in" and I just find that stupid for so many reasons

So for ppl who don't know, for the past few yrs ppl were saying curvy was in, like 'thunder thighs' and bigger chests, curvy women with more fat on them. But now ppl are saying skinny is back, stuff like herione cheque. 

Point 1. You can't control preferences

Not everyone is going to be more attracted to the super skinny body type, but the fashion industry, influences, celebrities, etc say it's in so everyone suddenly starts panicking wanting to match it as if now someone's said it everyone is suddenly gonna find things like leggings legs more attractive, even if they previously didn't have that preference. Ppl act like someone saying "this is attractive now" is gonna change what everyone finds attractive and that's not true. 

Not everyone is now gonna suddenly find super skinny, underweight, anorexic looking ppl more attractive, ppl will still have their own personal preferences and will find whatever they find attractive attractive. Just like how ppl who preferred ppl with thin legs didn't suddenly find thick thighs attractive, ppl who preferred thick thighs aren't gonna magically find skinny legs more attractive, it's entirely preference and that persons own taste. So stop acting like everyone's preference changes to match what's 'in' at the moment

Point 2. It's dangerous

Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia are still a thing, and they were a thing even while ppl we're starting to be more body positive, and they're gonna be worse now that being skinny is more attractive (apparently). Like I'm starting to see ppl saying those models who always pass out on the runway and who aren't actually eating enough are the ideal body again, and that's just gonna make eds worse again. Most those models are eating like they have and Ed and a lot probably do, that's the only way to really get that skinny, so now ppl with eds are gonna get pushed more to get worse, becuz skinny is becoming a thing again and they're gonna be seeing less body positivity. 

And ppl are all gonna start tryna diet and cut cals in dangerous amounts becuz they want that body type. Ppl who don't currently have eds are probably gonna be more likely to develope them if we move backwards and start normalizing that shit again. Those ppl aren't healthy, they're literally passing out for gods sake, saying looking like them is becoming the ideal again is dangerous and stupid. 

Point 3. It's easier to make a trend now

Wtf is leggings legs too. It didn't exist like a few yrs ago it's just a new name for something that was heavily pressured onto women last time being skinny was popular, they're just using a different name to try and make it a trend. By giving it a easy name to call "thin legs with a thigh gap and no calf" they can make it a trend on the internet and make ppl post stuff about it, comparing their legs and talking about how they wish they had 'leggings legs'

Same with headphone waist, which is where u have to try and fit headphones around ur waist. These are just glamorized names for body checking. "See how skinny u are by doing this, if u don't have headphone waist then that sucks for u, u should try get it", its like how ppl with eds usually take pics in several poses to try and see if they're thin enough. It's like the shit ppl in China are doing, and that place has even stricter beauty standards so yk it's bad if we're copying them.

All these new names for things, names that are quick and easy to remember, like headphone waist (really skinny waist) , leggings leg (really skinny legs), double lip line (I genuinely have no clue what ppl are insecure about when they say this), good features bad facial harmony (u have the ideal features that are considered attractive, but u still need to be insecure of ur face and hate it anyway) 

All these names for stuff just makes it easier to make a trend and then slyly promote it
